Ecology of Anopheles darlingi, the Primary Malaria Vector in the Americas and C...
Conn, Jan E.; Ribolla, Paulo E. [UNESP]Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:03:52Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2016-01-01; Anopheles darlingi is the primary malaria vector throughout most of its distribution from Mexico to Argentina. Depending on the environment, it displays a range of behaviors: anthropophily, opportunism, endo-exophagy, and endo-exophily. It readily colonizes anthropogenic sites and is susceptible to Plas...

The main goal of thi...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-04-08; US National Institutes of Health ICEMR; Tropical Disease Research-WHO Contract; Vale do Rio Jurua in western Acre, Brazil, is a persistent malaria transmission hotspot partly due to fish farming development that was encouraged to improve local standards of living. Fish ponds can be productive breeding s...
Mitochondrial DNA detects a complex evolutionary history with pleistocene epoch...
Scarpassa, Vera Margarete; Conn, Jan E.Cryptic species and lineages characterize Anopheles nuneztovari s.l. Gabaldón, an important malaria vector in South America. We investigated the phylogeographic structure across the range of this species with cytochrome oxidase subunit I ( COI ) mitochondrial DNA sequences to estimate the number of clades and levels of divergence. Bayesian and maximum- likelihood phylogenetic analyses detected four groups distr...
Population genetic structure of the major malaria vector Anopheles darlingi (Di...
Scarpassa, Vera Margarete; Conn, Jan E.The population genetic structure of Anopheles darlingi, the major human malaria vector in the Neotropics, was examined using seven microsatellite loci from nine localities in central and western Amazonian Brazil. High levels of genetic variability were detected (5-25 alleles per locus; HE = 0.519-0.949). There was deviation from Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium for 59.79% of the tests due to heterozygote deficits, wh...
Complete mtDNA genomes of Anopheles darlingi and an approach to anopheline dive...
Moreno, Marta; Marinotti, Osvaldo; Krzywinski, Jaroslaw; Tadei, Wanderli Pedro; James, Anthony Amade A.; Acheé, Nicole L.; Conn, Jan E.Background: The complete sequences of the mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA) of members of the northern and southern genotypes of Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) darlingi were used for comparative studies to estimate the time to the most recent common ancestor for modern anophelines, to evaluate differentiation within this taxon, and to seek evidence of incipient speciation. Methods. The mtDNAs were sequenced from mosquit...
Microsatellite data suggest significant population structure and differentiatio...
Mirabello, Lisa; Vineis, Joseph H.; Yanoviak, Stephen P.; Scarpassa, Vera Margarete; Pôvoa, Marinete Marins; Padilla, Norma R.; Acheé, Nicole L.Background. Anopheles darlingi is the most important malaria vector in the Neotropics. An understanding of A. darlingi's population structure and contemporary gene flow patterns is necessary if vector populations are to be successfully controlled. We assessed population genetic structure and levels of differentiation based on 1,376 samples from 31 localities throughout the Peruvian and Brazilian Amazon and Cent...

Campos, Melina [UNESP]; Alonso, Diego Peres [UNESP]; Conn, Jan E.; Vinetz, Joseph M.; Emerson, Kevin J.; Ribolla, Paulo Eduardo Martins [UNESP]Made available in DSpace on 2019-10-06T17:09:58Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-05-17; Background: In the Amazon Basin, Nyssorhynchus (Anopheles) darlingi is the most aggressive and effective malaria vector. In endemic areas, behavioral aspects of anopheline vectors such as host preference, biting time and resting location post blood meal have a key impact on malaria transmission dynamics...
